Organizers must acquire permits in order to hold festivals and other large gatherings in the city. Events with at least 250 people require a special event permit, which is issued from Mayor Kasim Reed’s office. Events with less than 250 people must acquire a “large gathering” permit, which is issued by the city’s parks department
NPU-E reviews the permits but can only make recommendations on whether they’re approved or denied. The city doesn’t require that organizers consult neighborhoods directly impacted by the events.
